Anna Thommesen née Jepsen (1908–2004) was a self-taught Danish textile artist and painter. In an austere, geometrical style, she wove tapestries and rugs on a loom she developed herself. She is also remembered as a colourist, creating dyes from the plants she collected. Her works include tapestries for the town hall in Holstebro, a tapestry in the old Landsting Parliament Chamber at Christiansborg Palace and an altar carpet and kneeler in Roskilde Cathedral.[1][2][3]
